Independent design studio / Est. 2016
Quiet design
for loud ideas.
An independent studio shaping identities, websites and motion for founders who would rather be remembered than noticed.
We design brands that sound exactly like their founders.
(02) — Services
Four disciplines, one point of view.
(04) — Process
A slow start makes a fast finish.
01
Listen
Two weeks of interviews, workshops and reading everything you’ve ever written. We leave with a one-page brief everyone signs.
02
Define
Positioning, naming and the core idea. One direction, argued well — never twelve options to pick from.
03
Design
Identity, website and motion designed together and reviewed weekly in one shared Framer file.
04
Launch & tend
We ship, measure and refine. Every project includes three months of support after launch.
64
brands launched since 2016
11
countries, from Lisbon to Lagos
92%
of clients return or refer a friend
(05) — Inside the studio
Pull up a chair.
This is roughly what a Tuesday looks like. Move things around — nobody here will mind, and you’ll learn a little about how we work.
Cozova listened for two weeks before drawing a single line. The identity they gave us sounds exactly like our team on a good day.

Notes from the studio
Process
·
Why we start every identity with a sentence, not a sketch
Before anyone opens a sketchbook, we write one sentence the brand should make people feel. It saves weeks — and a lot of logos.
Type & Color
·
A love letter to Bricolage Grotesque
Why a quirky grotesk with optical sizes became the backbone of our own identity — and when we wouldn’t recommend it.
Process
·
The two-week listen: what happens before we design anything
Interviews, workshops and a lot of reading. A look inside the first fourteen days of every Cozova project.
